Abstract:

This thesis presents density functional theory (DFT) studies of the adsorption of aromatic molecules on metals. These hybrid interfaces are found at the electrical contacts in the organic electronic devices. Understanding the precise electronic structure including the energy alignment between the Fermi level of the metal and the HOMO/LUMO states of the molecule is essential as it influences the carrier injection across the interface, which in turn affects the overall performance of these devices. The topography of the first layer of adsorbates is very important as it drives the orientation of

Paddlewheel complexes are molecules in which two interacting metal atoms are bridged by four chelating ligands. This class of complexes has a large range of electronic variability while keeping a rigid geometric structure. This variability has led to their use as catalysts, strong reductants, anti-tumor agents, and electron transfer agents. This dissertation examines the effects of changing both the dimetal core and the surrounding ligands on the electronic structure properties of the paddlewheel complexes.

Abstract:

The interface of a zinc-terminated polar zinc oxide surface (0002) with a series of chemisorbed fluorinated benzylphosphonic acids has been studied using density functional theory. The calculations indicate that there is a substantial change in the binding energies and work function modification depending on the binding motif. The results also indicate that there is a pronounced difference in the magnitude and trends of the factors determining the total change in work function. The oxygen core-level binding shifts have been calculated and compared to available experimental data.

Then, the obtained interaction energies of the cellulose-AOM complexes are compared to the former in order to decide which interaction is stronger.

Abstract:

A combination of theoretical chemistry and “action” spectroscopy has become the most used tool for the exploration of gas-phase molecular ions. In this study, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to test the validity of conclusions drawn from the results of a matrix-isolation infrared (MI-IR) experiment and develop a modeling method that could be used for metal-coordinating chlorate ion pairs. That modeling method was then used in comparison with experimental infrared multiple photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy to determine the structures of metal-chlorate anions. In ad

Abstract:

The hydrogenation of ketones over cinchona modified transition metal surfaces is an important step in many applications in heterogeneous catalysis, such as the production of unsaturated alcohols from a-0 unsaturated ketones. In the gas-phase simple ketones, such as acetone, do not have a significant population of the enol isomer. Even so deuterium exchange studies clearly point to the involvement of the enol form in hydrogenation catalysis over some group 10 metals. Two different aspects of the nature of the intermediates involved in the model enantioselective hydrogenation reaction are invest

Abstract:

This dissertation involves the study of epitaxial behavior of one-dimensional nanomaterials like single-walled carbon nanotubes and Indium Arsenide nanowires grown on metallic catalyst surfaces. It has been previously observed in our novel microplasma based CVD growth of SWCNTs on Ni-Fe bimetallic nanoparticles that changes in the metal catalyst composition was accompanied by variations in the average metal-metal bond lengths of the nanoparticle and that in turn, affected nanotube chirality distributions. In this dissertation, we have developed a very simplistic model of the metal catalyst in

Abstract:

Die vorliegende Promotionsarbeit “Density functional study of the electronic and magnetic properties of selected transition metal complexes” beschäftigt sich mit dem Zusammenhang zwischen strukturellen Merkmalen sowie elektronischen und magnetischen Eigenschaften von Einzelmolekül-Magneten. Im Wesentlichen konnte dabei gezeigt werden, dass die magnetischen Eigenschaften sowohl von strukturellen Merkmalen als auch von den elektronischen Eigenschaften bestimmt werden. Des Weiteren ergab sich, dass verschiedene Kenngrößen der magnetischen Eigenschaften (im speziellen der magnetische Grundzustand
